Vladimir Putin’s secret army has ‘battle groups’ trained in close combat who are ready for operations in western Europe ...warns Putin 'Expert'

'This
means the Kremlin leader and ex-Intelligence Chief Putin has direct
access to an elite fighter network in the West,' said popular German
daily newspaper BILD ahead of the book's publication on Friday this
week.

'I have seen intelligence reports on the groups'

Russian leader Vladimir Putin is accused of forming secret 'battle groups' in western countries including Germany ready to activate at a moment's notice.

Putin
expert and biographer Boris Reitschuster claims in his new book
'Putin's Hidden War' that this army of sleepers is trained in the Russian 'Systema' techniques of martial arts and knife fighting as taught to his country's special forces units.

German
author Reitschuster claims to have seen the reports of a western
European intelligence service detailing the covert groups spread across
the continent.

Reitschuster
says the commanders of this secret army are drawn from GRU military
intelligence and elite WDW airborn troops, adding; 'This fighting force
in enemy territory is a mainstay in Putin's hidden war against the
West.'

Earlier this year German intelligence agencies warned of Putin's plan to destabilize the country through propaganda.

Now
Reitschuster says the intelligence he has seen suggests the new goals
are fomenting civil unrest, distorting democratic political processes
and 'conveying non-democratic ideals.'

In
January the intelligence services said the Kremlin was behind a false
report of a 13-year-old Russian girl called Lisa who claimed she was
raped in Berlin.

Reitschuster says the commanders of
this secret army are drawn from GRU military intelligence and elite WDW
airborn troops, adding; 'This fighting force in enemy territory is a
mainstay in Putin's hidden war against the West'

Later
she admitted she made the story up - but not before ex-pat Russians had
taken to the streets and even protested outside Chancellor Angela
Merkel's office.

Russian
Systema self-defence schools in Germany act as 'camouflage for agent
meetings,' according to Reitschuster and 'are centres for recruiting new
Kremlin fighters.'

The
author claims European intelligence services have identified about 300
men in the previous year Germany who are actively involved in the
Systema structures. Among those who have received special training in
Moscow are also soldiers, policemen, judicial employees and turncoat
members of the German police and elite forces GSG 9 and KSK who are
'known' to the security services.

'These
saboteurs with elite education are no negligible factor - they are
targeted for crisis situations and trained to trigger unrest after
assessing intelligence documents,' he added.

The
Russian paramilitaries, he claimed, now hold 'real manouvres in the
Swiss mountains, operate across borders and are particularly strong in
Czech Republic where they mostly exercise.'

Reitschuster
says the recruits, who can be activated at a moment's notice, all
receive Russian passports and receive training in sabotage and handling
explosives.
